Michael Cohen was ‘promising access’ to the Trump administration, Novartis official says

President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, contacted the drug giant Novartis after the 2016 election “promising access” to the new administration — and special counsel Robert Mueller later requested information from the company about the offer, a senior official inside Novartis told NBC News on Wednesday.

The disclosure came after Stormy Daniels’ attorney released a summary of bank transactions that he says shows payments from various companies to one controlled by Cohen. Novartis said that it paid Cohen $1.2 million over a year.
